Why bother with the halter? Wouldn't your animal respond to  
voice commands, or the sound of a bucket with grain inside?

My family had a horse.  Just one.  It was allowed to graze in  
the fields with the other animals (goats, cows) ..but it  
responded to voice when called.

Sounds like she realized that shelter and access to pampering  
is a good thing.
